Nailah Thorbourne, known professionally as Nyla, was born on November 27, 1983, in Kingston, Jamaica, to a Jamaican father and an African American mother. She attended Campion College High School, where the foundation for her musical group, Brick & Lace, was laid. Following high school, Nyla pursued studies in marketing at Miami Dade College. Her career in music began officially in 2006 when Brick & Lace signed a record deal with Akon’s Konvict Muzik and Geffen Records. The duo released their debut album, “Love Is Wicked,” in 2007, which featured the successful single of the same name. This track spent 97 weeks across various international charts, establishing Brick & Lace’s presence in the music industry.
In 2010, Nyla, along with her sisters Tasha, Nyanda, and Candace Thorbourne, formed Bloodline, a songwriting team. Through Bloodline, Nyla contributed to writing songs for several artists, including Kelly Rowland, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Scherzinger, Leah Labelle, and Arash. A notable achievement for the songwriting team was co-writing the gold-certified single “Follow the Leader” in 2012, performed by Wisin & Yandel featuring Jennifer Lopez. This song gained significant traction on Latin charts, becoming a major release in the Latin music market during its release year. Her solo career gained momentum in 2015 when she was featured on Major Lazer’s track “Light It Up” from their album “Peace Is the Mission.”
A remix of “Light It Up” featuring Fuse ODG was later released as a single, achieving top 10 positions and reaching the number one spot in several European countries. This collaboration also performed well on digital platforms such as Spotify, Pandora, and Shazam. In 2016, Nyla collaborated with Warner Bros Recording artist Strobe on the song “Good Vibe,” which has accumulated over 1 million streams on Spotify. Her collaborations continued into 2017 with the release of the Ed Sheeran “Shape Of You” (Major Lazer Remix) featuring Nyla and Kranium, further solidifying her contributions to popular music.
